The Barbershop – May 14, 2013

By Allan Scotto

Happy Tuesday, fans!

Welcome to this week’s edition of “The Barbershop,” a column designed to give you a forum to speak your mind about our question(s) of the week or any boxing-related issue you would like to comment on. We welcome and appreciate your participation, so take a minute, scroll down and leave your comment below.

Now on to today’s question(s):

This Saturday at Boardwalk Hall in New Jersey, Lamont Peterson takes on the hard-hitting Lucas Matthysse, who has 31 KOs among his 33 victories. However, Peterson is no pushover. He scored a split decision over Amir Khan and then sent Kendall Holt home early, dispatching him in the eighth round after dropping him twice. Who do you think takes this one?

You pay the bills, fans, so what do YOU think?

Don’t forget to join the fun on Friday nights as I join Randy Gordon and Gerry Cooney on their “Friday Night at the Fights” satellite radio show on Sirius channel 92 and XM channel 208.

We’ll discuss the “Barbershop” question of the week and anything boxing-related you’d like to share or talk about.

The show runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., ET, and you can call in and let us know what you think by dialing 1-866-522-2846.
